SUMMARY:Wednesday Morning Minyan - Now Online
DESCRIPTION:We will resume our daily minyanim at their usual times\, meeting online on Zoom. Please contact Melani Baker for the Zoom invitation. See the below guidelines for participating. \nFor more information on the Conservative Movement’s Committee on Jewish Law and Standards’ (CJLS) new halakhic guidelines for virtual minyanim during this crisis\, click here. \nCongregation Beth Shalom Virtual Minyan Guidelines \n\nOnly those with video on may be counted towards the minyan\, though others may participate via just audio. Multiple people can be in the same video screen and all be counted. The key here is that part of being in prayer community together is being able to see each other’s beautiful faces!\nOur virtual gatherings are only minyanim for the purposes of Kaddish D’Rabbanan and Mourner’s Kaddish. We will skip: chatzi kaddish and kaddish shalem\, barechu\, kedushah\, the repetition of the amidah\, and Torah service.\n\n-On Monday and Thursday mornings\, the leader may choose to read the weekday Torah reading from a siddur or chumash. This should be done without aliyot or blessings. The order of events would be: Tachanun (through the bottom of p. 63)-(optional Torah reading)-Ashrei (p.78). \n-In the morning\, begin the Amidah aloud and then continue silently after “mechayeh hameitim” at the bottom of p. 36b. \n-In the evening\, recite the Amidah silently as usual. \n\nAll participants except the leader should remain on mute\, but participate normally (singing along\, etc.). Participants should unmute for Kaddish D’Rabbanan and Mourner’s Kaddish and recite “Amen” and “Yehei shmei…” aloud.\nIf possible\, please orient yourself so that you’re facing east towards Jerusalem\, and please stand and sit as you normally would.\nLet’s treat each other with compassion- this is a new experience that we’re all embarking on together. Please be patient with each other as we figure out the kinks.\nIf you need a weekday siddur\, you can download a PDF of it here.\nPlease do your best to participate like you would if we were gathering in person! To quote one of my rabbis\, Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky: “When you participate in our virtual minyan\, try to give it your full focus. Put on your tallit and tefillin. (If your ritual garments are in the shul\, and you’re not under quarantine\, feel free to come by and pick them up during business hours.) For the virtual minyan\, don’t look with one eye\, while another eye is on the newspaper or another window on your browser. Don’t listen with one ear and have your earbud set to Spotify. It will take extra work to constitute a davvening community in this fashion. But I am hopeful that we will succeed in creating a special experience\, and ‘according to the effort\, so is the reward.'”\n\n

SUMMARY:Yiddish Language

Her year-long Yiddish class\, the first in Beth Shalom’s 50-year history\, will use materials from the Yiddish Book Center’s new textbook\, “In Eynem” (“As One”). Together\, we will use the Yiddish language to socialize and converse with classmates\, delve into texts for cultural and artistic insights\, and draw on multimedia Yiddish sources from different time periods\, geographical regions\, and points on a wide-ranging religious and political spectrum. Students should familiarize themselves with the alef-beys before the first class (online guide available at https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/language-literature-culture/learn-yiddish-alphabet). For questions about the class\, please contact Marianne Tatom. \nTime: Wednesday nights\, 7:00-8:00pm \nDates: Class begins Sept 26 (25 sessions) \nCost*: $125/Member\, $175/Non-member \nThe lower tuition for this class has been made possible thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. \nSpots for this class are still open!

SUMMARY:Two English Bible Masterpieces: KJV (King James Version) and Robert Alter
DESCRIPTION:Two English Bible Masterpieces: KJV (King James Version) and Robert Alter with Rabbi Rob Toren \nAn eight-session exploration of two translation masterpieces of the Hebrew Bible aka Tanakh. With the original Hebrew as a starting point\, we will note how these two artful translations wrestle with and attempt to resolve the daunting challenges of translation. Knowledge of Biblical Hebrew is not required though certainly helpful in appreciating both translations’ artistry and skill. \nSelections may include: Creation; Kayin and Hevel (aka Cain and Abel); Tower of Babel; Binding of Isaac; selections from the Jacob/Joseph cycle; Moses’ early life; David and Batsheva; 2-3 selected Psalms. Rob will provide texts\, though students are welcome to purchase their own editions. A reminder that the KJV does contain the Christian Bible. \nTime: Wednesday nights\, 8:00-9:00pm \nDates: February 20-April 24 (no class March 20 or April 17) \nCost: Free of charge. Donations to the CBS adult education fund are appreciated. \nRabbi Rob Toren has recently retired from 21 years as Samis Foundation executive. Relevant to this course\, his background includes Harvard A.B. in Near Eastern Languages and Literature\, with a focus on the Hebrew Bible and its grammatical and syntactical structures. Subsequent Biblical studies included two years of twice weekly studies with Nechama Leibovitz z”l in Jerusalem as well as courses at the Hebrew University in Midrash and Talmud. \n
